Worldβs first AI-designed viruses a step towards AI-generated life. #Nature
Scientists used AI to write coherent viral genomes, using them to synthesize bacteriophages capable of killing resistant strains of bacteria.

A new study, published today in Nature, reveals the hidden benefits of weight loss on fat tissue.
A better understanding of how weight loss leads to health improvements at a molecular level could help inform the development of therapies for diseases such as type 2 diabetes in the future.
